Master's Thesis | Jan 2026 - Jun 2026 (In Progress) | University of Amsterdam & EUMETSAT
I am currently conducting my Master's thesis research at the University of Amsterdam, in collaboration with the Digital Solutions and SAF Division, as well as the User Support and Climate Services (USC) Division of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). My research focuses on leveraging Machine Learning techniques to detect features using GEO-Ring satellite data.
This project aims to enhance our understanding and automated monitoring of complex atmospheric features. I am being supervised by Ana Lučić from the University of Amsterdam, alongside Miruna Stoicescu and Roope Tervo from EUMETSAT.
Undergraduate Thesis | Sep 2022 - Jul 2023 | Grade: 10/10 | National and Kapodistrian University of Athens & IERSD / NOA
During my undergraduate thesis at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, I explored the application of advanced Machine Learning techniques, with a particular focus on Deep Learning algorithms, to estimate the phase of satellite precipitation estimates. Both numerical and in-situ observational weather data were utilised in the study.
This project was conducted in collaboration with researchers from the Institute for Environmental Research and Sustainable Development (IERSD) / METEO of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA).
Results show that ML and DL models can estimate precipitation phase with relatively high accuracy when compared to traditional methods. The findings suggest that ML models offer a promising approach for advancing the nowcasting of snowfall and building a long-term archive dataset of IMERG-based snowfall utilising conventional near real-time data.
Furthermore, this research has been published in Environmental Sciences Proceedings and was selected for presentation at the 16th International Conference on Meteorology, Climatology, and Atmospheric Physics.
I was supervised by Manolis Koubarakis from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, alongside Stavros Dafis, Georgios Kyros and Kostas Lagouvardos from the National Observatory of Athens.
